Sunrise Red
I have no idea about what causes this much red on a cold January morning. Looks a little low on the left. This faded away very quickly. My thinking is slow on a cold January am or I may have taken a few more exposures. TG

Lion Senior
This old bruiser has a main up over the head and notice the grizzled white on the forehead and muzzle. Big mouth on his left has that senior cap as well.

Kingfish snack fly - by
This is the almost good inflight Kingfisher image. He had just caught a small lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll....snack.
Iris au Rootbeer
Rootbeer Iris is what we call this type in Comox marine park. Ocean winds make them ragged in fairly quick time.
Comox British Columbia Canada, that is.

Green Violet Swallow
This swallow comes and goes on each half hour approximately. Patience required. It took several tries before I got this half decent in flight shot.
Swallow Green Violet
Green Violet swallows are not that common. This is the first I have seen . Tree swallows, barn swallows and purple martins have a more simple colour scheme. These are white breasted not yellow. That colour is a reflection from grasses below.
Driftwood galore on Goose Spit
There has been a long line or wall of logs driven into the beach to limit weather washout. Looks good and there is a vast collection of driftwood along that wall.
Fish Design Delicate & Artistic
Notice the intricate design of this salt water two inch fingerling. The fine pattern along the back, and the sunny yellow upstrikes over dotted sides. He was caught in the rocks on a falling tide. Birds usually make these stranded fish vanish before 10 AM.
Shark Fish ?
Walk the beach early in the morning and you may find odd fish before they vanish down a bird,s gullet. This seems to be a mix of shark or dogfish, a bit of sturgeon and part mudpout.

Merganser kiddies
A Picasa processing gamble. This was overexposed in an early Kodak point and shoot camera. Wild but interesting.
Yellow Rump Sunning
This calm Yellow Rump was getting his back warmed and while alert looking ha may have been dozing with eyes wide open.
Deer Downtown
This self assured spring shaggy coat is standing on the Lorne Hotel site in downtown Comox. He knows the golf course is nearby.
Girls on Alert
These two young ladies were not worried about me really. They had a few horse friends nearby and there was a deep water-filled ditch between me and the farmer's fence.
Hare moment to study human
This healthy looking silver-tip paused for a moment to study me and the camera. Only for a second though and then dashed.
Crab for Racoon
This looks like good food. No Racoon would turn it down. Why does Racoon come into this? Stay tuned.
Racoon Senior
This older racoon seems to be doing well considering his vision is impaired. He was shuffling along the beach in morning light. Finding and eating crab no doubt. Most racoons work at night but this fellow is on day shift due to poor night vision. TG
Trillium [I'm told]
While there have been many great blooms in the bush and by the beach, this one seems to be in very good focus. Handheld.
OK, I know, use a tripod for more sharp images like this.
